Serena Williams reciting this Maya Angelou poem is all the inspiration you need this week!

Prior to her historic 22nd grand slam title win, Serena Williams took to BBC Sport to recite her favorite poem, “Still I Rise” by Maya Angelou before her defeat of Angelique Kerber in the 2016 Wimbeldon match.The tennis world hasn’t always been so accepting of Williams, but that hasn’t stopped her from making history. Even better that before her win her montage was aired and showed that the champ is pushing through sexism, racism, and anyone else who stands in her way to the top.
